Jason Herrick and his wife Caitlin decided to start playing offense for their children and the future of this country by taking control of the education they provide their children, themselves, and all the families lives they will touch through starting their own Apogee Strong campus; Apogee HoCo.

Howard County, Maryland will be home to one of 50 campuses starting up in the near future all over the US. The mission of Apogee Strong is one that resonates with me deeply. Leading through example, not being afraid of failure, critical thinking, hands on learning, educating the whole family & more.

Jason's story of suffering a severe concussion early in his professional soccer career left him unsure of the future of his family and his ability to provide. After being stuck of the subscription model of healthcare, and dealing with let down after let down, he realized through the help of some non-traditional medical professionals that he had the power to heal himself.

It took searching out and being proactive about his care to find this solution. He now aims to provide all the families that enroll in Apogee HoCo this same gift.

His leadership philosophy is to encourage, educate, and empower and he lives this in his own life and you'll be able to pick up on his care and authenticity in today's episode. Enjoy!

Hello my Get Uncomfortable compadre!

If you're new to the show, welcome!

If you do find value in the show, learn something, get inspired, or laugh I ask that you bring me ONE new friend to listen to the show this week. It means the world that you're willing to spread the message of Get Uncomfortable and join in this battle against mediocrity.

Get your notes app ready for this one.

Today I had the honor of speaking with David Olcott, founder of Samurai Success, author of Swords of Illumination, he is master certified in NLP, a business & personal coach, former trainer for Anthony Robbins, and much more.

We had a fantastic conversation about his book, the technologies his company uses to help their clients achieve results in business and life like never before, manifesting your dreams, defining your values, creating a sense of destiny, and the importance of love & congruency.

When I read Swords of Illumination I knew right away how powerful his book was. It is set in the Edo period of Japan and tracks the journey of young Yoshi on his path to becoming a great Samurai.

 It speaks directly to the human condition of finding purpose, living up to and defining your values, doing the right actions to uphold your values, and ultimately living life as the person you know you can truly be.

Please be sure to check out  Samurai Success and the services they offer and David's book at the links below:

Don't give Mr. Resistance the chance to win, beat his ass this week and see how good you feel after overcoming the challenges life presents you with this week.

Hello my Get Uncomfortable compadre! Thank you for tuning in again! We have a big one today with one our first return guests Nissa Cohen.

Nissa and I had a great conversation about exploring alternatives to the traditional schooling model you and I are probably most familiar with.

She came on the show to educate us all about Apogee Strong and what her and her husband Eric are doing by starting Apogee Omaha. Apogee is providing an alternative to the conveyor belt model of schooling.

Creating competent, strong, independent thinking, creative problem solvers doesn't happen on accident and Apogee strong affiliated schools are taking that head on and providing structure to create the heroes of tomorrow.

Enjoy the show!

On this week's episode we are joined by Adam Spillman.

Adam is a radiant beam of positivity and authenticity while sharing his story of being diagnosed with testicular cancer and hearing that he had roughly a week to live with the current progression of his cancer.

Listening to his story you will hear a tale of perseverance, positivity, determination, human connection, and hope.

Adam is a perfect example of taking adversity in life and not letting it completely destroy you, he shares how he leaned on his wife and friends to help him through the most difficult time in his life and now he shares his story to help people understand that you can overcome so many obstacles in your life.

I feel very blessed that I was able to sit down with Adam and hear his story in detail and glean so much insight from him.

The threat of losing everything can really make you realize how good you actually have it in life.

On today's episode I was lucky enough to it down with one of the worlds leading sports scientists, elite level coach, author, speaker and former monk, Shayamal Vallabhjee.

This conversation was deep, insightful, and actionable.

In my opinion Shayamal has a special talent of measuring the intangible aspects of performance instead of hoping they show up when needed. He has systems to track them, make them repeatable and use them for growth.

We started off discussing spirituality and specifically some passages from the Bhagavad Gita and how it can help us all live life a little more free and less attached to the outcome.

From there we went all over elite performance, mindset, psychology, and optimization of our lives.

I know you will love this episode and learn some invaluable insights from the world class coach and human; Shayamal Vallabhjee.

If you do find value in the show, learn something, get inspired, or laugh I ask that you leave us a rating and review.

I recently completely deleted my Instagram account, which may seem trivial and it actually feels stupid to even talk about it.

This did cause me to realize how strongly I have been unconsciously conditioned to utilize these apps.

In reality we all engage with people or systems that make us feel terrible but we keep coming back for more because we're gluttons for punishment apparently.

I finally decided that is a game I don't want to play anymore and I'm not going to accept the deal they're giving me.

Just because "everyone" is doing it, doesn't make it a beneficial relationship.

If you've got something or someone that makes you feel like shit, cut it out of your sphere. Stop engaging with it or them because you're supposed to.

Get outside and meditate, walk barefoot in the grass, spend time with family, and practice gratitude for all the great things you already have.

Today we have a special episode with the host of The Next Milestone Podcast; Matthew Moran. 

Matthew reached out to me a few months ago as he started a podcast and we have been in touch ever since. He's on a journey of growth and development and stands for what we stand for at Get Uncomfortable. 

We decided to join forces on this new years special episode to help you grow and crush 2024 in a truly meaningful way for you.

We covered a lot of my background as well as why I think people often fail their resolutions so hopefully you don't end up making the same mistake. 

Enjoy todays' episode!

A quick Friday episode about getting up out of bed to do your work when you don't want to. This comes from the amazing book Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor.

I read the first passage of book five and it really is a great one to think and reflect on. What we are made to do, not what we want to do.

You can get the Gregory Hays edition I spoke about in the episode here.

I hope you enjoy this short form episode. Let me know what you think and if you'd like to see more of these.
